Abstract: An array of active pixels comprises rows of pixels and row select lines for selecting rows of pixels. Each active pixel comprises a buffer amplifier for buffering an output of a photo-sensitive element. An output of the buffer amplifier can be selectively put into a high impedance state, by control of the input of the buffer amplifier, when there is a defect in the row select line for that pixel. This allows other rows, which are defect-free, to remain operating as normal. A disable line can be provided for a row of pixels and each pixel can have a switch connected to the disable line. Alternatively, a first supply line powers a row of pixels. Each pixel comprises a reset switch connected between a photo-sensitive element and the first supply line for resetting the photo-sensitive element. The array is configured such that, in the event of a defect in a row select line, the first supply line is set to ground, or a low voltage, and the reset switch is turned on to put the buffer amplifier into the high impedance state.

Abstract: An angle calculation portion of a motor control apparatus determines an angle θ of a rotor, and an angular velocity calculation portion determines an angular velocity ωe of the rotor, A command current calculation portion determines command currents id* and iq* on dq axes, based on a steering torque T and a vehicle speed S. An open-loop control portion determines command voltages vd and vq on the dq axes based on the command currents id* and iq* and the angular velocity ωe, according to circuit equations of a motor. A dq-axis/three-phase conversion portion converts the command voltages vd and vq to command voltages of three phases. A three-phase voltage correction portion corrects the command voltage so that an actual time average value of a voltage applied to each phase is equal to a time average value of a voltage that is to be applied to the phase if the voltage is not decreased, in order to compensate for a decrease in the applied voltage. By performing the correction, it is possible to eliminate or suppress a decrease in control accuracy due to a wiring resistance and the like.
